Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002149189A1] An assembly of supporting members includes a first member overlapping a second member and positioned within a hollow interior of the second member. The hollow interior of the second member has a flange on which the first member rests. A leading edge of the first member may have a protrusion extending away from the first member towards the flange of the second member to protect the flange and the connection between the first and second members. The first and second members may be hydroformed with the protrusion being an integral element of the first member.
